NEW YEAR’S ON A BUDGET
Spend around $100 (including wine!) on a New Year’s dinner for six and prepare to be amazed by how great everything looks and tastes.
Prepare to be amazed by this New Year’s dinner for six that comes in at around $100 (drinks included!)—it looks and tastes like a million bucks.
An elegant New Year’s Eve menu without breaking the bank and without forsaking the kind of luxury this night demands? Here’s how…
Portion control—savouring smaller amounts of the best you can buy; switching out high-priced delicacies for flavourful imposters and lesser-known cuts.
Another way to make a menu go further is to employ the same ingredients in a few different places. We’ve used blood oranges in both the starter and dessert.
Read on for an impressive—and impressively inexpensive!—festive three-course dinner for six, full of flavour and cost-cutting hacks. We spent about $60 at the grocery store. Of course we used a few pantry staples that most of us keep on hand—spices, garlic and oil— and in the end, there’s still room in the budget for wine!
